This Old Codger.

The path of my life has been long,

I look back as I sweep majestically

Into old age.

This old codger has had a good life,

And what is more

He is still here,

There is still much to do

To forego that life now.

There are the books I need to read,

You know that list of them

That gets ever longer.

There is music to listen to,

I have heard most of it before

But good music needs hearing,

Again and again.

There are words to write,

Like these ones going onto this page.

 

So be warned all

As the seven zero of my life approaches

I will be here,

Reading books,

Listening to music,

Writing words.

When that final day on earth comes

I will still be here,

As My Spirit will never cease to exist,

Going on to infinity,

And beyond.
